From low-resolution cameras to algorithmic abstraction — the four-stage pipeline behind every BVDART artwork.
Vintage cameras, algorithmic generation, hand-drawn marks, and public domain imagery provide the raw material that seeds every artwork.
Algorithms are designed, combined, and parameterised into reusable effect sequences — each one a building block in a personal visual toolkit.
Two fundamentally different approaches — deliberate mathematical composition or intuitive discovery via the 128-key cashier panel.
The final stage bridges digital and physical — from modified pixel art printers and vintage dot-matrix to print-on-demand galleries and limited editions.
Low resolution is not a limitation — it's a compositional tool. 640×480 forces clarity. JPEG artifacts become texture. Dot matrix imprecision becomes collaboration. Every constraint narrows the search space and amplifies creative signal.
The code is not a tool — it's a co-author. The artist defines rules; the algorithm explores the space those rules create. The best pieces emerge from the tension between control and emergence — where the output surprises even its creator.
The print is not a reproduction — it's a translation. Each production method interprets the digital master differently. The modified printer preserves intent; the dot matrix reinterprets it. Both are valid. The medium is part of the message.
